Resonance crossing and dynamic aperture in nonscaling fixed field alternating gradient accelerators

Operation with natural chromaticity in a linear nonscaling fixed field alternating gradient (FFAG) accelerator causes crossing of the low order resonances such as integer and half-integer. Although those resonances are not systematic ones, small errors, such as a typical misalignment of 10  μm rms,...
